LunchWorlds 1.2.0

NPCs

• The NPC system moved here from LunchEssentials. NPCs saved by LunchEssentials are imported on the first world load. Permissions are now lunchworlds.command.npc and lunchworlds.npc.interact.
• Player NPCs are animated: they breathe, follow nearby players with their head, gesture while talking, and can stand, sit or lie down.
• New greeting animations when a conversation starts: wave, excited jump, bow, and dap up. The dap is shown in first person, and other players see your character do it.
• New book-style dialogue screen: the camera frames the NPC, text types itself out, long text gets pages, and choices are buttons.
• Names, dialogue lines and choices support gradients (whole text or part of it).

Compatibility

• NPC and player animations are no longer overridden by Entity Model Features / Fresh Animations or Not Enough Animations.
• The first-person hand is hidden during NPC dialogues, including with Punchy.

Performance

• Custom content is cached on the client: rejoining or reloading only downloads what changed.
• Content is sent gradually instead of all at once, avoiding memory spikes on joins and reloads.
• Fixed items with full charges re-syncing every tick.
• Custom blocks are no longer rendered off-screen.

The server and every player must use LunchWorlds 1.2.0. With LunchEssentials, use 1.3 or newer.
